Hi and welcome to the forums,
in your post there's no useful information that anyone can use in order to help you.
So I'll start: which Desktop Environment? Did you install a custom theme? Also, how did you install Arch?

Also what packages are you installing that you think should have an icon? Do those packages provide icon files (pacman -Ql <pkgname> | grep pixmaps)? Where do you see these "violet diamonds" / where do you expect to see these icons?

Also do some search, it may be a question that can be answered on the specific DE forum, even though it was induced by the pacman update.

I use plasma-desktop 5.11.4-1 and have noticed this behaviour only in one instance:
The supertuxkart icon changed after a pacman upgrade, when the supertuxkart package was also upgraded to supertuxkart 0.9.3-1. The icon is still there on the desktop, but it does not contain any graphics like it use to before the upgrade, only the text description on the Desktop icon.
If you click on the application icon it still launches.

I have no solution to offer, as it never bothered me in any way and did not deter my son from launching his game.

If I were to solve it, I would first srudy how to manage / edit icons on the DE and mostlikely the solution will be found there.

Regards

Arch Linux
